Lesson Overview

In this lesson you will:​

  • Pick a climate solution to research

  • Build your daily and weekly information diet

  • Build your profile and networking strategy

Pick your climate solution​

You may be tempted to apply for any open roles, regardless of their industry domain.

This is not recommended.

You should try to narrow down your focus to a specific solution.

Why pick a specific solution?

This is a critical step for you to:

  1. Manage your time - research top challenges that you are uniquely positioned to solve

  2. Build your network - offer something to contribute for a specific community

Solution Frameworks​

They are all listed in The Handbook under our Solutions Page.

Climate Solutions

Climate Solutions

An overview of all 12 sectors and 93 climate solutions

Where to begin?​

Take a moment to browse, and then come back to this page to plan your Information Diet.

What to look for​

  • Job openings - every Solutions page has a link to job openings by that particular Solution or Sector.

  • Transferrable Skills - some Solutions are very software specific and easier to transfer over from a similar IT role.

  • Industry risk - some industries are better established, like electric vehicles and solar. Other solutions are earlier stage or have more volatility such as carbon markets.

  • Co-benefits - climate change is not our only ecological emergency. We also have a biodiversity crisis. Some solutions offer multiple benefits, such as land conservation and regenerative agricultural which can solve more than one problem. We must also incorporate solutions that intersect with other social challenges like poverty and inequity.
